Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Fast and scalable multi-model DBMS, originally forked from OrientDB but most of the code has been rewritten

Wide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTable

Oracles in-memory data grid solution

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

The SAP (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is an enterprise-class RDBMS
